Even in the century of hoverboards, space exploration, and immersive video games, the idea of fate
still reigns in our consciousness. The assumption that everything in the world is predetermined by
natural or supernatural forces is here to stay after all, according to a study published in Psychological
Science.

Researchers Aaron Kay, Simone Tang, and Stephen Shepherd of Duke University conducted online surveys with 189 participants to gauge people’s belief in fate. Surprisingly, the results showed that when faced with difficult decisions, people still tend to rely on fate. “It exerts a range of positive and negative effects on health, coping, and both action and inaction.”

Fatalism, or the belief that mankind is virtually powerless to pave their own path, is as old as ancient civilizations. This subjugation to fate offers temporary relief when things don’t go our way or when we’re too scared to be held accountable. As the study suggests, people don’t always believe in fate. We only succumb to it when life does not go our way or when we’d rather let ourselves off the hook than make hard decisions. However, it may also cost us our happiness in the long run as we become more passive.

Eleanor Roosevelt states, “In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.” Some people float through life like drift wood while a few brave souls swim against the current.

An amazing discovery in an abandoned house in Austin, Texas: A lost book of amazing survival knowledge, believed to have been long vanished to history, has been found in a dusty drawer in the house which belonged to a guy named Claude Davis.

Remember... back in those days, there was no electricity... no refrigerators... no law enforcement... and certainly no grocery store or supermarkets... Some of these exceptional skills are hundreds of years of old and they were learned the hard way by the early pioneers.

We've lost to history so much survival knowledge that we've become clueless compared to what our great grandfathers did or built on a daily basis to sustain their families.

Neighbors said that for the last couple of years Claude has tried to unearth and learn the forgotten ways of our great-grandparents and claimed to have found a secret of gargantuan proportions. A secret that he is about to reveal together with 3 old teachings that will change everything you think you know about preparedness:
